Drinking potion while mounted causes mount to disappear

REPORTED ISSUE: Drinking potion while mounted causes mount to disappear

ISSUE DETAILS:
My horse disappears momentarily when I drink a potion.
I'm not sure if this happens with other mounts (I suspect it might).
This may be Era Accurate (I don't know - I didn't own a horse when I played in 1999), if so just let me know. However, the disappearing horse seems strange to this newish player.

ENVIRONMENT DETAILS: Windows 7 (64 bit), 3GB RAM, UO Client v5.0.8.3 (Patch 204), Razor v1.0.12

STEPS TO RECREATE:
Mount a horse, drink a potion. The horse will disappear momentarily while you drink the potion, then re-appear.

EXPECTED RESULTS:
The horse doesn't disappear when you drink a potion.

Far as I know, it's very much era accurate.

The original developers didn't make an animation for drinking a potion while mounted, so it shows the unmounted animation.

It is a glitch within the client itself, so it's not fixable. It is accurate, however.
